High-Level Extracellular Production of a Trisaccharide-Producing Alginate Lyase AlyC7 in Escherichia coli and Its Agricultural Application. Mar Drugs 2024; 22:230. [PMID: 38786621 PMCID: PMC11123115 DOI: 10.3390/md22050230] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2024] [Revised: 05/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Alginate oligosaccharides (AOS), products of alginate degradation by endotype alginate lyases, possess favorable biological activities and have broad applications. Although many have been reported, alginate lyases with homogeneous AOS products and secretory production by an engineered host are scarce. Herein, the alginate lyase AlyC7 from Vibrio sp. C42 was characterized as a trisaccharide-producing lyase exhibiting high activity and broad substrate specificity. With PelB as the signal peptide and 500 mM glycine as the additive, the extracellular production of AlyC7 in Escherichia coli reached 1122.8 U/mL after 27 h cultivation in Luria-Bertani medium. The yield of trisaccharides from sodium alginate degradation by the produced AlyC7 reached 758.6 mg/g, with a purity of 85.1%. The prepared AOS at 20 μg/mL increased the root length of lettuce, tomato, wheat, and maize by 27.5%, 25.7%, 9.7%, and 11.1%, respectively. This study establishes a robust foundation for the industrial and agricultural applications of AlyC7.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alginate lyases (EC 4.4.2.3/4.4.2.11) have been applied to produce alginate oligosaccharides, which have physiological advantages such as prebiotic and antidiabetic effects, and are of benefit in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Extracellular production of recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli presents advantages including simplified downstream processing and high productivity; however, the presence of certain signal peptides does not always ensure successful secretion, which make the extracellular production of alginate lyase in E. coli rarely reported but of great significance. RESULTS A PL7 family alginate lyase, Aly01, with its native signal peptide from Vibrio natriegens SK42.001, was identified, characterized, and extracellularly expressed in E. coli. The enzyme specifically released trisaccharide from alginate and was strictly NaCl activated. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) was fused with the Aly01 signal peptide and successfully secreted in E. coli to expand the feasibility of using this signal peptide to produce other heterologous proteins extracellularly. Through a synergistic strategy of utilizing Terrific Broth (TB) medium supplemented with 120 mmol L-1 glycine and 10 mmol L-1 calcium, the lag phase of protein secretion was reduced to 3 h from 12 h; meanwhile calcium remedied glycine-related cell growth impairment, leading to further enhancement of overall enzyme productivity, reaching a maximum of 4.55 U mL-1 . CONCLUSION A new salt-activated alginate lyase, Aly01, was identified and characterized. E. coli employed its signal peptide and extracellularly expressed both Aly01 and a GFP, which indicated the signal peptide of Aly01 could be a powerful tool for extracellular production of other heterologous proteins in E. coli. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
In this study, mutant CotA-laccase SF was successfully expressed in Escherichia coli by co-expression with phospholipase C. The optimized extracellular expression of CotA-laccase SF was 1257.22 U/L. Extracellularly expressed CotA-laccase SF exhibits enzymatic properties similar to intracellular CotA-laccase SF. CotA-laccase SF could decolorize malachite green (MG) under neutral and alkaline conditions. The Km and kcat values of CotA-laccase SF to MG were 39.6 mM and 18.36 s-1. LC-MS analysis of degradation products showed that MG was finally transformed into 4-aminobenzophenone and 4-aminophenol by CotA-laccase. The toxicity experiment of garlic root tip cell showed that the toxicity of MG metabolites decreased. In summary, CotA-laccase SF had a good application prospect for degrading malachite green.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Manganese peroxidase (MnP) from Irpex lacteus F17 has been shown to have a strong ability to degrade recalcitrant aromatic pollutants. In this study, a recombinant MnP from I. lacteus F17 was expressed in Escherichia coli Rosetta (DE3) in the form of inclusion bodies, which were refolded to achieve an active enzyme. Further, we optimized the in vitro refolding conditions to increase the recovery yield of the recombinant protein production. Additionally, we attempted to express recombinant MnP in soluble form in E. coli, and compared its activity with that of refolded MnP. RESULTS Refolded MnP was obtained by optimizing the in vitro refolding conditions, and soluble MnP was produced in the presence of four additives, TritonX-100, Tween-80, ethanol, and glycerol, through incubation at 16 °C. Hemin and Ca2+ supplementation was crucial for the activity of the recombinant protein. Compared with refolded MnP, soluble MnP showed low catalytic efficiencies for Mn2+ and H2O2 substrates, but the two enzymes had an identical, broad range substrate specificity, and the ability to decolorize azo dyes. Furthermore, their enzymatic spectral characteristics were analysed by circular dichroism (CD), electronic absorption spectrum (UV-VIS), fluorescence and Raman spectra, indicating the differences in protein conformation between soluble and refolded MnP. Subsequently, size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) analyses demonstrated that refolded MnP was a good monomer in solution, while soluble MnP predominantly existed in the oligomeric status. CONCLUSIONS Our results showed that two forms of recombinant MnP could be expressed in E. coli by varying the culture conditions during protein expression.

Abstract
The katA gene that encodes catalase (CAT) in Bacillus subtilis WSHDZ-01 was overexpressed in B. subtilis WB600 and B. subtilis WSHDZ-01. The CAT yield in both transformed strains was significantly improved compared to that in the wild-type WSHDZ-01 in shake flask culture. When cultured in a 3-L stirred tank reactor (STR), the recombinant CAT activity in B. subtilis WSHDZ-01 could be improved by 419 %, reaching up to 39,117 U/mL and was 8,149.4 U/mg dry cell weight, which is the highest activity reported in Bacillus sp. However, the recombinant CAT in B. subtilis WB600 cultured in a 3-L STR was not significantly improved by any of the common means for process optimization, and the highest CAT activity was 3,673.5 U/mg dry cell weight. The results suggest that self-cloning of the complete expression cassette in the original strain is a reasonable strategy to improve the yield of wild-type enzymes.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to achieve high-level extracellular production of D-Psicose-3-epimerase (DPE) with recombinant Escherichia coli. High-level production of DPE is one of the key factors in D-Psicose production. In the present study, the gene AAL45544.1 from Agrobacterium tumefaciens str. C58 was modified by artificial synthesis for overexpression in E. coli. The total DPE activity reached 3.96 U mL(-1) after optimization of the media composition, induction temperature, and concentration of inducer. Furthermore, it was found that addition of glycine had a positive effect on the extracellular production of DPE, which reached 3.5 U mL(-1). Finally, a two-stage glycerol feeding strategy based on both the specific growth rate before induction and the amount of glycerol residues after induction was applied in a 3-L fermenter. After a series of optimal strategies in the 3-L fermenter, the total and extracellular DPE activity were 5.08- and 3.11-fold higher than that noted in the shake flask. The extracellular and intracellular DPE activity reached 10.9 and 13.2 U mL(-1), achieving 25.5 and 31.1 % conversion of D-fructose to D-psicose, respectively. The systemic strategies presented in this study provide valuable novel information for the industrial application of DPE.

Abstract
Abstract
Oxidized polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrolase (OPH) is a key enzyme in the degradation of PVA, suggesting that OPH has a great potential for application in textile desizing processes. In this study, the OPH gene from Sphingopyxis sp. 113P3 was modified, by artificial synthesis, for overexpression in Escherichia coli. The OPH gene, lacking the sequence encoding the original signal peptide, was inserted into pET-20b (+) expression vector, which was then used to transform E. coli BL21 (DE3). OPH expression was detected in culture medium in which the transformed E. coli BL21 (DE3) was grown. Nutritional and environmental conditions were investigated for improved production of OPH protein by the recombinant strain. The highest OPH activity measured was 47.54 U/mL and was reached after 84 h under optimal fermentation conditions; this level is 2.64-fold higher that obtained under sub-optimal conditions. The productivity of recombinant OPH reached 565.95 U/L/h. The effect of glycine on the secretion of recombinant OPH was examined by adding glycine to the culture medium to a final concentration of 200 mM. This concentration of glycine reduced the fermentation time by 24 h and increased the productivity of recombinant OPH to 733.17 U/L/h. Our results suggest that the recombinant strain reported here has great potential for use in industrial applications.

Abstract
The targeting of recombinant proteins for secretion to the culture medium of Escherichia coli presents significant advantages over cytoplasmic or periplasmic expression. However, a major barrier is inadequate secretion across two cell membranes. In the present study, we attempted to circumvent this secretion problem of the recombinant alpha-cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (alpha-CGTase) from Paenibacillus macerans strain JFB05-01. It was found that glycine could promote extracellular secretion of the recombinant alpha-CGTase for which one potential mechanism might be the increase in membrane permeability. However, further analysis indicated that glycine supplementation resulted in impaired cell growth, which adversely affected overall recombinant protein production. Significantly, delayed supplementation of glycine could control cell growth impairment exerted by glycine. As a result, if the supplementation of 1% glycine was optimally carried out at the middle of the exponential growth phase, the alpha-CGTase activity in the culture medium reached 28.5 U/ml at 44 h of culture, which was 11-fold higher than that of the culture in regular terrific broth medium and 1.2-fold higher than that of the culture supplemented with 1% glycine at the beginning of culture.

Abstract
Overexpression of recombinant genes in Escherichia coli and targeting recombinant proteins to the culture medium are highly desirable for the production of industrial enzymes. However, a major barrier is inadequate secretion of recombinant protein across the two membranes of E. coli cells. In the present study, we have attempted to circumvent this secretion problem of the recombinant alpha-cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (alpha-CGTase) from Paenibacillus macerans strain JFB05-01. It was found that glycine, as a medium supplement, could enhance the extracellular secretion of recombinant alpha-CGTase in E. coli. In the culture with glycine at the optimal concentration of 150 mM, the alpha-CGTase activity in the culture medium reached 23.5 U/mL at 40 h of culture, which was 11-fold higher than that of the culture in regular TB medium. A 2.3-fold increase in the maximum extracellular productivity of recombinant alpha-CGTase was also observed. However, further analysis indicated that glycine supplementation exerted impaired cell growth as demonstrated by reduced cell number and viability, increased cell lysis, and damaged cell morphology, which prevented further improvement in overall enzyme productivity. Significantly, Ca(2+) could remedy cell growth inhibition induced by glycine, thereby leading to further increase in the glycine-enhanced extracellular secretion of recombinant alpha-CGTase. In the culture with 150 mM glycine and 20 mM Ca(2+), both extracellular activity and maximum productivity of recombinant enzyme were 1.5-fold higher than those in the culture with glycine alone. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first article about the synergistic promoting effects of glycine and Ca(2+) on the extracellular secretion of a recombinant protein in E. coli.

Expression and secretion of recombinant ZZ-EGFP fusion protein by the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris. Biotechnol Lett 2008; 30:1409-14. [PMID: 18415052 DOI: 10.1007/s10529-008-9714-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2008] [Revised: 03/10/2008] [Accepted: 03/12/2008] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
We constructed a fusion protein ZZ-EGFP by fusing the ZZ domains of staphylococcal protein A (SpA) and enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP). ZZ-EGFP was secreted in the yeast, Pichia pastoris, with a hexahistidine tag. Its expression level was determined by measuring the fluorescence of EGFP. When the recombinant yeast cells in shake-flasks were induced with 0.5% methanol for 96 h, a maximum yield of 115 mg ZZ-EGFP/l was obtained. The resulting ZZ-EGFP fusion protein retained immunoglobulin G (IgG)-binding capacity and EGFP fluorescence. ZZ-EGFP was then used in immunofluorescence assays for detecting antinuclear antibodies (ANA); it produced a good signal that was comparable in its brightness and fluorescence pattern to that generated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labelled anti-human IgG. Thus, ZZ-EGFP showed great potential in immunological applications due to its ability to bind to various IgG from different animal sources.
